It makes sense that Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants series made the top ten list of banned books for the previous decade. After all, it is about kids being kids in the face of authority. Here's a list of the top 100 banned books of the previous decade. https://lnkd.in/gAA5K7Fw Anything you read and enjoyed make this list? #BannedBooksWeek

The pledge is a commitment you want to make to ensure books on colorism, racism, spiritual growth, new business, book publishing, personal development, and empowerment can be released to empower the world! I dream big, and my goal is to write 50 books to help children, women, and men. I have a heart for ministry and believe in the power of Yashua to change everything we allow the Word to impact. We can be part of the change we all need and want. I want these same books translated into five languages. Translating, publishing, and distributing costs money. I need your help. You can commit to a monthly plan or buy the collection at one time. I have bonuses and gifts for everyone who gets involved. This is my heart, dream, and purpose. I do also need your help and support. If you believe our purpose can be aligned, do join with me. Pledge and learn more about my book titles: https://lnkd.in/gW235cSw #authorklee #pleddge144

This week I had the honour of working with a group of girls from Cape Town destined to change the world. The girls from Brescia House School spent the last two days writing, illustrating, and publishing their very own children's books and, goodness me, they are amazing! The cool thing is that every time somebody in the world buys a copy of their book, the profits from the sale head straight towards a charity they have chosen, and they get to see exactly how their book has changed the world for the better. Take a look at the book below, and if you'd like to grab yourself a copy, well, you'll not only be getting an amazing book in the post, but you'll also be allowing a child to change the world using the power of education. Read the book for free here - https://lnkd.in/gvREQB-H A Humble Halloween - By Grace 'On a very spooktastic adventure, three brave brats get taught a super important life lesson. Somehow Enchantress Gathel has something, almost everything to do with it. Fashionista Nara, shy, bike-loving Mateo, and hungry Jin are left having to prove themselves to the witch, Enchantress Gathel. But… what is it that they must prove? How do they learn their “lesson,” and … What did that stinky old witch do? Warm up those witty words and get ready to read!' #edcuation #school #teacher #teaching #literacy #literature

Ronny Ashar Non Sequitur, my foray into writing after a considerable hiatus. Not sure why this is relevant for LinkedIn, except that I am an amateur writer seeking to broaden my audience! Also, for anyone else interested, Medium makes it really easy to publish and opine and blog! #write #technology #poetry #culture #civilization #ai #responsibleai #aiethics

Last year we sponsored 270 free books to our tamariki through our partnership with Duffy Books in Homes. It may seem simple, but the impact of a free book is profound. 📚✨ For many of these children, owning a book is a luxury they have never experienced before, or they simply do not have access to books within their homes. Duffy Books in Homes believe that book ownership promotes an interest and love for reading and that the experience of reading for pleasure improves literacy. 🚀🌈 We agree, and so does the research*. All children at Duffy school have the chance to choose two books from a book catalogue three times a year, totaling six books per year. These books are theirs to keep for life. How cool is that? 📖❤️ Join us in making a difference! 🌟 There are several ways to get involved in their awesome mahi, check out their website: https://lnkd.in/gN-wC4ha to see how you or your organisation can change a life. *Research undertaken in 1996 and 1997 by Dr Warwick Elley suggested that year 5 and 6 children in eight schools "improved (their reading ability) by 35% more than they would have without the Duffy Programme. #makeanimpactthatmatters #givingback #literacymatters #booksforchildren #nextgeneration #investinfuture #younityimpact #techcommunity #techrecruiter #younity
